In 2008, they invaded Georgia during the opening ceremonies.After the Olympics, as is Russia tradition. Apparently.
Is that really a thing with Russia? I would guess sooner than later, but given that the Olympics are upon us pretty soon, it's probably a safe bet that it's either after, or possibly during.

US should start invading stuff too. Start with Cuba, then Canada then take Siberia. Once the nukes start flying real estate prices have to drop right?

Putin's tactic has nothing to do with invading Ukraine *at all*. His goal is to destroy the image that the EU is potentially a military power. He wants to provoke and he wants EU to not react to show that we do not, in fact, have a structure of leadership capable of organising war outside of being actually attacked in a real proper oldskool war .. which is why he won't attack.

My ancestors are the from the Ukraine. Corrupt Russian soldiers murdered all of them except my great grandfather.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Piece on NYTimes the other day pontificated that Putin's biggest fear is that Ukraine will join the EU. That would be prickly for him because it would give Russians the idea that their neighbor Ukraine is a better place to be with all the perks, loveliness and freedoms of western culture. The idea being that Ukraine joining the EU is even more concerning to Putin than them joining NATO (which would also concern him, I'm sure).[I AM VERY SMART]
